What Happened?
18 December 2009: A U.S. drone strike targeted a funeral service for the victims of an earlier U.S. drone attack in the Pai Khel area of North Waziristan Agency. The victims had been killed a day earlier in a drone attack on nearby Ambar Shaga, a day earlier.
Independent reports from that time suggest that this attack was on faulty intelligence and that all casualties were innocents. Given the lack of verification, this attack is considered undocumented.
